Assessment of Gesture Accuracy of a Prosthesis Control System (ASCENT)

May 30, 2025 updated by: Phantom Neuro Inc.

Assessment of Gesture Accuracy for a Multi-electrode EMG Sensor Array Based Prosthesis Control System

The study is evaluating the performance of prosthesis control system, referred to as Phantom X, in able bodied individuals and individuals with upper limb amputation at the forearm level.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The study will characterize the performance of Phantom X system and associated algorithms in decoding EMG signals for various hand gesture control. The EMG signals will be sensed using a non-invasive multi-electrode array applied to subjects' forearms.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Interventional arm
All subjects will be instrumented with an electrode array on their forearms. The EMG signals detected by the electrodes will be fed into Phantom X hardware running the Phantom X algorithms. The algorithms will decode the EMGs signals and drive a desk mounted hand prosthesis.
The sensed EMG signals from the subjects will be decoded by Phantom X algorithm and used to drive various gestures in a desk-mounted hand prosthesis
